  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
Willing Helpers Home for Women on its 110th Anniversary.
  The Willing Helpers Home for Women is a not-for-profit organization 
located in Johnstown, New York, that offers a comfortable home for 
women 60 years and older. Since it opened in November 1908 through the 
help of generous donors in Fulton County, the Willing Helpers Home has 
provided women with a supportive and compassionate first-class home 
that advocates security, independence, and comfort.
  At the Willing Helpers Home, residents not only benefit from a number 
of professional services, such as medical supervision and exercise 
programs at their convenience, but they also enjoy many recreational 
activities, like teas and weekly bingo. By offering a full array of 
services, the Willing Helpers Home creates a holistic support system 
for the women.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I want to congratulate the 
Willing Helpers Home for Women on its 110th anniversary, and thank its 
dedicated staff for their commitment to serving women in their 
community. The Willing Helpers Home has provided an important service 
to women, and I look forward to seeing its continued success in the 
years to come.
